by tuesday when it's released and then we can discuss it together. it's available at barnes & noble.com, amazon.com. go there right now, order it "settle for more" and i hope you do. have a great night. i'm megyn kelly. tonight -- >> mr. president, it was a great honor being with you and i look forward to being with you many more times in the future. >> president-elect trump goes to the white house to start the transition of power. laura ingraham is here tonight with reaction. >> she innocent or guilty. >> hillary clinton's legal problems are far from over. will she be pardoned by president obama? >> i don't think think president obama should pardon her. >> rudy giuliani is here to weigh? >> this is a moment filled with fear. >> and the mainstream media and liberals are freaking out about trump's victory.

all of that plus reince priebus. after president-elect donald trump's decisive victory he now has a mandate to act on behalf of you, the american people. rudy giuliani will be here in just a minute with reaction. first, my advice to donald trump tonight is move fast and keep all of your promises. earlier today plresident-elect trump met with president obama to discuss the transfer of pow e power. the president can play nice all he wants but make no mistake about it, democrats want trump to fail. remember, it was only a few days ago, they're playing all nice today, that 0 obama was saying this. >> we cannot elect a president who vilifies minorities, who

mocks americans with disabilities, who calls immigrants criminals and rapists. if you accept to support a klan semp theser, before your president, then you'll accept this support after the president. donald trump is completely unqualified to hold the job. >> don't forget about how president obama really feels about republicans. >> i need you to talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors, talk to them whether they're independent or whether they are republican, i want you to argue with them and get in their face. i don't want the folks who created the mess, i don't want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking. i want them to get out of the way so we can clean up the mess. middle class families up in front. we can't -- we don't mind the republicans joining us. they can come for the ride. but they got to sit in the back. >> got to sit in back.

so inclusive when he won. remember he often said i won. we won. said that a lot. now keep all of that in mind. this isn't act coming together with democrats. this is about completely dismantling his disastrous agenda. that's going to mean this. repealing, replacing obamacare, replace it with free market solution to lower premiums and give you the american people real choices about your future health care. that means building the border wall, stopping illegal immigration so that americans won't be competing for jobs with illegal immigrants who are driving down wages. that eens he's got to follow up on appointing originalists to the supreme court, like antonin scalia, justices who believe in coequal branches of government, separation of powers who will follow the constitution the way the foundered intended for it to be followed. trump as laid out and put out a list of potential supreme court picks. he should stick to the list.

lifting restrictions on drilling aenl fracking so we don't have to pretend to be friends with countries that hate our guts. this will create millions of jobs for americans who desperately need them. draining the swamp, reducing the size of government and getting or exploding debt under control. stop robbing our kids blind, simplifying the tax code, he said seven brackets to three, means identifying who america's enemies are and who they really are and not be afraid to use the term radical islam. it means extreme vetting of refugees so they won't put american lives at risk. it means, of course, no more common core in school, send education back to the states and it also means remembering the millions of forgotten americans, the people who have been left behind or completely ignored for

decades by career politicians, the media. i call it the forgotten man election and it's time to make free trade deals, allow countries -- so we can building manufacturers and create millions 0 jobs here. here with reaction, former new york city mayor rudy giuliani. there's a lot of rue nmors abou you. >> rumors are rumors. the agenda you've outlined he's absolutely going to do. >> he's committed to. >> yeah. i spent 130 days on the road with him. sometimes we were the only ones up at 1:00 in the morning because the kids would go to sleep. i love that. both me and i loved it because we were older than both of them. the thing about donald trump that the american people will get to know, and i think he's going to become more and more popular is, he is exactly what

he says he is. sometimes that got him in trouble, adds we know. but everything he promised he believes in. it's not one of these, you know, i'm for the keystone pipeline and then i'm against the keystone pipeline. he's in favor of it. he's going to do it. he is dead set on renegotiating those trade agreements. you didn't mention the iran agreement. he considers the iran agreement the dumbest stupidest -- >> do you see what the iranians said? they said he has to keep it. no he doesn't. the president never submitted it to congress as he should have under article 2 section 2 of the united states constitution. it's a treaty. i invite the people at home to go get out the federalist papers and read federalist paper 75 where hamilton defines a treaty. this is a treaty. when it's not a treaty, just signed by the president, the

next president with can -- >> i would say easily 50. >> right away. including executive amnesty. >> all kind of powers that were given to epa, the congress -- >> gone. >> give to the epa which is how he revooifs the energy industry. the energy industries is being crushed by the epa and they're being crushed by things that congress wouldn't pass that obama signed into so-call law by executive order. most will get struck down by the courts two or three years from now. a president trump can sign a paper and get rid of it. >> let's go back to september 8th, 1974, then president gerald ford, let me read read, i gerald ford president of the united states pursuant to the pardon power conferred upon me by

article 2 section 2 of the u.s. constitution have granted and by the present and grant full, free and absolute pardon unto richard nixon for all offenses against the united states which he, richard nixon has committed or may have taken part in during the period from january 20, '69 through august 9, 1974. a lot of people have said to me today, wait a minute, hillary has not been charged. >> that doesn't matter. >> if you become the attorney general, donald trump has been clear that we can't have a two-tier justice system and the issues about the e-mail server and the foundation will be pursued. >> also the foundation investigation is still going on. >> do you think obama will pardon her? does hi have the ability to? >> yes. >> is it absolute? >> many in my view and reading of the constitution, don't take it as gospel, i know it fairly

well, i believe the president's pardon power is absolute. we're constitutionalists we would like for it not to be, but it is. theoretically he could pardon her for basically anything -- >> she has done. >> that has already happened. he can't pardon her for something that she does in the future. >> amazing. if you were the attorney general -- >> what about abedin, cooper, mills, pagliano, the guys who took the fifth and committed perjury. >> wikileaks, you've got the proof of the perjury. there's a group of them out there that the justice department, an honest justice department would be pursuing. and i can tell you that the fbi is pursuing it. there will be some republicans that say you've got to focus on the agenda, this will be a

distraction, let clinton go. >> there's an argument to be made for that but there's also an argument to be made for equal justice under the law. how do you not prosecute some of these and then go ahead and prosecute martha student for one count oi lying to the fbi. >> or this guy in the jail now. >> how do you prosecute the guy in jail for taking pictures of the submarine. >> six pictures. >> he sent them to his mom, right? >> no. he just had them in his phone. he took them for hems in a submarine and he's spending a year in jail right now. >> how do you prosecute him and then you don't prosecute this case. remember, the investigation -- and comey was very careful. he came to the conclusion on the e-mails that she shouldn't be prosecuted. first of all, that's not his decision to make. it's the justice department's decision to make. it was not really a definitive

decision. secondly, the clinton foundation investigation is an ongoings investigation as far as i can tell being carried out by the new york office of the fbi. that's going to sit on the desk of the next attorney general. >> you were on the road as you said 130-plus days with donald trump during this campaign. been one of his closest friends and advisers. you went out and campaigned hard for him. obviously he will want you in his cabinet. is there any particular position you want? would you like -- >> that's a discussion that donald and i -- >> so hannity is not allowed in that discussion? >> no. you're not allowed in that discussion. that is a very private discussion and there's a whole transition team and a whole process you have to go through and any vetting. >> any one position you'd prefer? >> right now i'm pretty happy where i am. it would have to be something where i believe that only i could do that job. >> if i'm hillary clinton and

rudy giuliani becomes the ag, i'm serious, i'd be scared to death because i do believe donald trump. he said he would pursue it. and if you're the attorney general and i'm hillary clinton, i would be scared to death. because i know how good a prosecutor you were. i was here when you were mayor. i remember the old press conferences. >> honestly i was a better prosecutor than mayor. >> you were a pretty good mayor. >> the mafia. >> yeah, you went after the mob, a number of -- >> you became friends with milken, right? >> we are good friends now and i believe milken is an excellent candidate for a pardon. >> wow. >> and that's based on the good works that he's done after his conviction. this is a case of a guy who learned his lesson and has really helped society. >> all right. thanks. he was the junk bonds guy. he does a lot of charity. >> and i know a few others like

that. you and i are catholics and we know that people can redeem themselves. >> absolutely. >> some people can't. >> right. >> some people can and you got to know how to distinguish between the two of them. up next right here on "hannity." >> real change begins with immediately repealing and replacing the disaster known as obamacare. >> obamacare, a big fat government lie to you the american people. donald trump told you he will repeal it. he'll replace it. how does he plan to do that. we'll check in with ben carson. later tonight we speak with laura ingraham, reince priebus and much more.

somehow it felt like everything was moving in slow motion. if i didn't react, things could have gotten messy in a hurry. i mean just got that sweet ride with a great rate from navy federal. i was not about to let anything happen to her. just looking out for my wingman. he's still in training. open to the armed forces, the dod and their families. navy federal credit union. with toothpaste or plain water.an their dentures and even though their dentures look clean, in reality they're not. if a denture were to be put under a microscope, we can see all the bacteria that still exists on the denture, and that bacteria multiplies very rapidly. that's why dentists recommend cleaning with polident everyday. polident's unique micro clean formula works in just 3 minutes, killing 99.99% of odor causing bacteria. for a cleaner, fresher, brighter denture every day.

this is a fox news alert. another night of protestagainst trump underway in dozens of cities around the country. this is new york city. hundreds of protesters are here gathered outside trump tower on fifth avenue. the crowd holding up sigh signs saying quote not my president and divided states of america. large crowds taking to the streets in several cities on the west coast. in pordland, oregon there's been some violence as they're taking over the highways. and president-elect trump lashing out saying, quote, just had a very open and successful president election. now professional protesters incited by the media protesting. very unfair. calling the demonstrators hip krits for not accepting the democratic process.

now back to "hannity." real change begins with the immediately repealing and replacing the disaster known as obamacare. with obamacare premiums are surging, companies are leaving, insurers are fleeing, doctors are quitting and deductibles are going right through the roof. we can repeal and replace obamacare and save health care for every family in michigan and throughout the united states of america. we have to do it. >> all right. that is now president-elect donald trump on the campaign trail earlier this week promising to repeal and replace obamacare. this is an issue weighing on the minds of many of the american people. after it was announced that obamacare premiums will once again skyrocket this year. many people seeing double digit

increases. how will the president-elect when he becomes president repeal and replace it. joining us now, dr. ben carson. i read that you have been asked to be a part of this effort to repeal it and replace it. true? >> of course. and of course i would be extraordinarily happy to help with this. health care is by far the most important thing that a person has. and you know, this announcement of this big increase, this is just the first trunch. there's going to be several more. it's going to be completely unaffordable. it doesn't work. i think the people who put it together knew that it wouldn't work and that it would prime the people for acceptance of government controlled single pair systems. fortunately we've stopped that. >> we're going to repeal it. how do you transition people back to it. how do you create free market health savings accounts with competition, with portability that allows for preexisting

conditions. this is not an easy task, undoing this damage is going to be hard. are you worried about transitional cost for people? >> it's not an easy task but, you know, we have models for how to do it. how to create health savings accounts using the same monies that we used to buy, you nknow, expensive health insurance. it's a matter of putting the pieces together. once that is done, you know, all you need then is your catastrophic health care which is going to be much much cheaper. the models are multiple. they will be worked out. it will be very easy for people to understand. and 80% of your encounters with the health care system are going to be between you and the system. not some third party individual. >> you know, one of the interesting things, i know this doctor in wichita, kansas, he

actually set up his own cooperative and he buys medicines in bulk, he is available, him and his team, 24/7 for everybody in the cooperative. they all save money, they all get better care, they all get cheaper medicine. >> of course. >> do you think you would be able to institutionalize that all around the country or something similar in. >> similar things. because of course if the relationship is between the patient and the health care provider, you're going to bring the whole medical system into the free market. and free market forces will control costs and quality. it will be much better in both of those instances. >> yeah. all right. will you take a position as health and human services secretary, surgeon general, would you take those positions if asked and have you been asked to take a position? >> we're discussing these things. you know, i personally feel that you can do a lot from outside.

but if that were the only way that it could be done, you know, obviously i'm going to do what needs to be done to assist this administration. >> have you have discussed it. you can say it. it's okay. you can share it with me. >> yes, there have been discussions. >> i happen to think it's a good choice, myself. you don't have to sell me on you, dr. carson. i'm a fan. this is going to be a difficult transition but one that's necessary before this thing totally blows up, which it's kind of implodining now. >> it's not going to be so difficult because it's going to be logical. >> that's true. by the way, that's refreshing for washington. good to see you. thank you, dr. carson. coming up next right here on "hannity." >> i look forward to dealing with the president in the future, including counsel. >> president-elect donald trump met with president obama at the white house. laura ingraham ways in next.

and the mainstream media freaking out over president-elect donald trump. slaf david clark and judge jeanine pirro will weigh in later on the program. (sigh) my insurance rates are probably gonna double. but dad, you've got... allstate. with accident forgiveness they guarantee your rates won't go up just because of an accident. smart kid. indeed. it's good to be in, good hands. you found the perfect car foi'm a robot!s.com yeti

i'm looking forward to dealing with the president in the future, including counsel. he explained some of the difficulties, the high flying assets and some of the really great things that have been achieved. so, mr. president, it was a great honor being with you and i look forward to being with you many many more times in the future. >> president-elect donald trump met with president obama at the

white house earlier today. mr. trump promised voters that he would drain the swamp. how is he going to do that? joining us, fox news contributor, nationally syndicated radio host, she put it all on the line this election. there's a group of people ready to go after her and yours truly. to me i think it's simple for mr. trump but difficult on the other hand. i think he just follows through on his promises, follows up on his contract, drain the swamp is one one of them. he laid out the speech in gettysburg. will that be hard on congress? >> i don't think so. i've talked to two or three people in leadership in the house and the senate, and there's a palpable difference in tone and attitude. everyone now is really excited about trump being president, even though who were not all that thrilled, to say the least.

he's completely overnight changed the way the republicans -- >> isn't that amazing? isn't that nice of them to come on board? i guess everybody likes a winner, right? >> they do, sean. it was frustrating, i think, about this race, i think you were saying this, i was saying this. just support the ticket and then you can debate about the nuances of policy if he wins. if he doesn't win all of these things we're wanting to do is never going to happen. support the nominee through good and bad. don't abandon him when he's at his most difficult spot which a lot of them did and now a lot of them are crawling back saying i'm thrilled about this, i'm going to work hard for you. it's better later than never but i think we have to be careful as he said -- >> the last ones on the ship will be the first ones off of the ship as soon as they hit any bumpy waters. >> that's really important for trump to remember. he laid out some issues, you addressed them already on obama

care. immigration, both the wall and reduction really in legal immigration, the type of immigration policy we've seen over last couple of decades. since the 1960s we changed our immigration policy and most people aren't in favor of that. they want immigration to be controlled and work to the benefit of the american people. and that's a big undertaking. obama care, immigration, tax reform, these are, these are things that are nonnegotiable. he has to do these now. >> i think originalists, extreme vetting, i think building the wall, eliminating obamacare, health saifths accounts, three tack brackets instead of seven, lowering the corporate tax rate, energy independence and education back to the states. if he does that, he will change this country in deep and profound ways even though it sounds easy. >> i think you're right. it will grow the economy, you

throw in trade and limiting the foreign workers who are come into the country until wages start going up, all of those things will benefit the economy and as a side benefit but nevertheless very important for the republicans is that it will build the republican party into a populous pragmatic party. when trump can go into the inner city and say see, i did the things i said i was going to do and look at how people's lives are getting better, join us, continue to grow the movement that he started. that's when it gets really interesting. >> corporations have trillions parked overseas. she can give them a further incentive. okay, you take these old factories in detroit, if you rebuild in wisconsin or ohio or pennsylvania, in other words, those areas that have been devastat devastated, i think it would transform the country and get

people back to work and out of poverty and off of food stamps, it would do wonders for the economy, wonders for the people of this country. >> think about the family dynamic that will also be improved. there are so many breadwinners who are not in the workforce and they want to work, they want to maybe have less than -- fewer than three jobs. they would like to have one job that pays a decent salary. family lives improve. it has ripple effect that will be much better for the country if we have a growing strong economy. and the thing you have to smile about is that china is worried. if china was happy, that's a bad sign. >> the iranians are too. you better keep that deal. i don't think the deal is worth the paper it's printed on. i'm hoping. coming up, liberal celebrities, mainstream media, they're losing their minds collectively. why? because you elected donald

trump. sheriff david clark, judge jeanine pirro, miley cyrus's crying meltdown and reince priebus. afoot and light-hearted i take to the open road. healthy, free, the world before me, the long brown path before me leading wherever i choose. the east and the west are mine. the north and the south are mine. all seems beautiful to me.

but i keep it growing by making every dollar count. that's why i have the spark cash card from capital one. with it, i earn unlimited 2% cash back on all of my purchasing. and that unlimited 2% cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business... which adds fuel to my bottom line. what's in your wallet? which is good for me a 200-degree range of sight... hey! ... and bad for the barkley twins.

live from america's news headquarters. for the second night in a row thousands of people opposed to the election of donald trump are taking it to the streets. here's what it looks like this evening along new york's fifth avenue, outside trump tower. similar scenes happening right now if more than a dozen cities nationwide. demonstrators are disrupting traffic as they march down the street carrying protest signs. some are waving mexican flags. police in riot gear are standing by but so far, no reports of serious violence. trump supporters meantime have taken to social media to scorn the demonstrations, accusing the protesters for being hypocrites

for not accepting tuesday's election results. now back to "hannity." and welcome back to "hannity." soon election night as vote totals were rolling in showing a very good night for president-elect trump, the left reng mainstream media, they were having a melt down. take a look at some of the worst moments -- i guess some of the best from an entertainment point of view of the night >> america is crying tonight. i'm not sure how much of america, but a very significant portion and i mean literally crying. and it is a moment filled with fear. >> fear. >> filled with fear. >> some of the cultural anger we could correctly identify. and it's significant that trump has closed so much of a gap and done so well with white voters, to the extent that he won running a campaign of racism and

bigotry. we are living through a kind of second redemption. >> our country is about to face some serious crises. and so buckle up. your country needs you. your son is serving as a marine. you wouldn't trust his life under that commander in chief and khan said i wouldn't. that's an extraordinary thing to say if you have a son in the marine corps and you don't trust the commander in chief. >> this is a white lash, this was a white lash against a changing country. it was a white lash against a black president in part. and that's the part where the pain comes. >> white lash? mainstream media they weren't the only group lashing out. last night whyy sore losers took to the streets blocking traffic in several of america's business

je -- busyneiest cities. joining us with sheriff david clark and judge jeanine pirro. this is predictable. the things we will hear in the next four years, i'm warning my audience, it shouldn't shock you. they are going to lose collectively their minds. that's my prediction. how should we deal with it? >> first of all, i just thoroughly enjoyed that montage you showed of the left, played the left in meltdown mode. it's fun to watch. this is a great day in america. i remember in 2007 when barack obama won his first election, showed up in grant park shi south side and he showed a picture of jees see jackson with a tear rolling down his cheek. that was me to terry night as donald trump took the stage. fox news was the first to announce that donald trump was the president-elect of the united states. and today i still have to pinch

myself. i said it several times on your show. i said that donald trump would win. but to be in that moment now post election, i mean i don't smile much but i'm smiling from ear to ear today. >> i've seen you smile, sheriff. i've been at events with you where you're smiling. judge, your reaction? >> my reaction to the media is not surprise at all. look, what we've got is a bunch of wusses who think that donald trump is all of this iz chls and ifs. they are the people who the racists and the anarchists and who support these wimps who especially on college campuses a and these people who are protesting, they don't believe in america. they want to burn flags. they want to not work. they want to get a check. they want illegals, they want open borders. you know what? it's time people recognize that we have a country that works for

a living, that works hard to make sure that we can afford food and rent for our families. and that we deserve a president who believes that's all about us americans and not a global, you know, country and a global economy. by the way, you know, when they hang donald trump in ep gi and they say love trumps hate, they're the hypocrites, they're the people violating the law. >> sheriff, let me give you some examples. slate has a piece, white one, van jones, this was a white lash, cokie roberts, great hostility to having a female president. people have to die, some of these anti-trump protesters were saying. if any of these celebrities want to leave, i'll help them get out. you know, how to impeach a president. google shows a 500% increase. some in california want to leave the union, for crying out loud.

some social media comments, trump should be assassinated. this is only the beginning of it. you saw a video of the guy who was beaten over this whole thing. and you've got schools telling kids if you're traumatized we'll offer you counseling to deal with your grief and shock over donald trump's victory. i don't know whether to laugh or cry. >> well, a little of both. this is nothing more than an attempt to intimidate the trump amount and the trump supporters. this is a slap in the face. our democracy the voters decide who will lead these institutions of government and numbers came out enough to make donald trump the president-elect of the united states. it's going to take them time but they'll get over it. in the mean time you put up with them like a petulant 2-year-old, let them dance and have a temper tantrum and then take them by the arm and say that's enough. >> my favorite is miley cyrus

posting this. >> i do want to say that i have been very vocal for my support for everyone besides donald trump. heavily supported bernie, heavily supported hillary. and i still think that in her lifetime she deserves to be the first female president. and that's what makes me so sad, that i just wish she had an opportunity because she's fought for some long. >> u want to know what she's fought for. and every time i hit the streets i say to people, what has she done other than as senator. he's got a post office name and a road named. and you know miley cyrus, this is a lesson for you and all of your hollywood elite friends, you don't have any power or control, we don't give a damn what you think or say. get over yourself. you sing well, keep on singing. that's enough about politics. >> i think we'll leave it there.

>> drama queen. >> drama queen. i wasn't exactly happy in '08 and 25012. >> we didn't protest. >> i didn't protest, i didn't cry kb didn't act like a baby. good grief, grow up, you people. if you need counseling over a presidential election, you're a mess to begin with. >> dog therapy. they're bring in dogs to the campuses. >> little safe spaces, free counseling sessions, group therapy, hug it out. president-elect donald trump had a busy morning in d.c. after meeting with the president at the white house, they met with speaker ryan on capitol hill. so how can the party come together and fix this economy which is a mess. we'll check in with rnc chairman reince priebus straight ahead. yeah, so mom's got this cold.

hashtag "stuffy nose." hashtag "no sleep." i got it. hashtag "mouthbreather." yep. we've got a mouthbreather. well, just put on a breathe right strip and ... pow! it instantly opens your nose up to 38% more than cold medicine alone. so you can breathe ... and sleep. shut your mouth and say goodnight mouthbreathers. breathe right. marto cozy up on a chilly day.ey pot pie gives you a warm way so she seasons and roasts tender turkey breast to perfection. and prepares a golden flaky crust from scratch. then she fills it with crisp vegetables. and seals in the goodness with perfectly-crimped edges. because marie callender knows that when it's cold outside, it's good food and good company that keep you warm inside.

marie callender's. it's time to savor. >> test test. >> test test. >> test test. >> test test. >> test test

we have a lot. we're going to look at the border, around the border and we're looking at jobs.

big league jobs. >> that was president-elect donald trump earlier today on capitol hill detailingprioritie. the voters have spoken and exit polls show that 69% of voters said that they were dissatisfied or angry with how the federal government was working. so what are they going to do to fix it? reince priebus is with us. by the way, congratulations. >> yeah. >> a lot of people had doubts about a system that you had built since 2012 to get more voter to the polls. do you feel that it was as successful as you had hoped? >> well, the result was pretty good. let me first say before i talk about that, you have to start with a great candidate. and if you don't have the change candidate that's authentic and in a change year, you can have
